Chapter 201 Afterlife
In the days that followed, Zhuhua had to accompany Princess Ji and Princess Changle to the temple every few days, but she did not take Tuantuan, but only Yuanyuan who had to feed her. Princess Ji did not bring the second and third geese, but only the big geese. After going out a few times, Zhuhua also wanted to bloom and just pretended to be going out to see the scenery. After each trip, she drew a picture of the most impressive scenery when she went out today, sometimes it was a temple, sometimes it was a natural scenery, and sometimes it was a long convoy. Her style of painting has never changed, just like drawing cartoons with brushes. The lines were very simple, and she only focused on drawing a few more strokes on the things she wanted to highlight.
Zhuhua and Pingwang share a study together, but their desks are on two different ends. Zhuhua sometimes has to draw some design or painting manuscripts, and she will not allow Pingwang to come and see it. She did not stop Pingwang when painting these landscape pictures. Pingwang looked at her paintings, and she always had a deeper understanding in her heart. The world that Zhuhua saw was always full of vitality and peace, and she could always find some details that others did not notice. He liked her paintings very much, but she always said that her paintings could not be on the table.
One day in Hanlin Academy, he imitated the style of beads and flowers and drew a picture of birds. Shan Shishi, who happened to pass by, saw it and stood behind him for a while.
"Prince Ping, your paintings are becoming more and more interesting now."
Shan Xueshi didn't praise others often, but he often praised King Ping. Ping did not think it was because of his painting skills, but because he asked Mr. Shan to read the paintings in Zhuhua's dowry. After that, Mr. Shan was so kind of flattering to him, and he vaguely wanted him to convince Zhuhua to give him the paintings. Ping Wang said that the princess was the decision of the family. Shan Xueshi had known it for a long time, but he still did not give up. He believed that as long as he had a good relationship with King Ping, the princess would give him the paintings one day.
In fact, he doesn't have to be so troublesome. If he had just talked with Zhuhua and paid for it, he might have taken this painting home long ago.
After winter began, Zhuhua's temple parade ended, and Princess Changle and Princess Ji's stomachs were still not moving. Zhuhua often advised Princess Ji to see more. If she was too nervous, it might be even more difficult to get pregnant.
"Just like we are looking for something, there are some things you can't find when you want to find, but you simply stop looking for them. Maybe it will come out by itself in a few days."
"I have never been able to find anything." Princess Ji said that her things were kept by girls, and if they could not find them, they would be guilty of dereliction of duty.
When Zhuhua heard this, she didn't know how to respond, so she had to greet Princess Ji with a bare face.
Princess Ji smiled after seeing it and said, "Your temper is even bigger now."
Zhuhua snorted and said, "This is my nature."
Princess Ji smiled, knowing what Zhuhua said, and sighed lightly. Forget it, some things are destined, and even if she wants to force it, she can't force it. After she goes back, she simply doesn't even drink medicine to adjust her body. Originally, her body is fine, so why should I drink these bitter medicines? If she can get pregnant, it's useless to force it.
On Laba Day, when she and Zhuhua entered the palace, Concubine Shu looked at them and felt a little bad. However, Concubine Shu didn't say much, and just asked King Ji to find a Feng Shui master to see if there was a problem with the Feng Shui of the two royal palaces. Why can't the people in the two palaces give birth to males? Only she has no grandson left in the palace. Even if Concubine Xian couldn't see her illegitimate grandson, she at least had it.
Zhuhua is very glad that Concubine Shu is not her biological mother-in-law, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable if she was watched like this. Fortunately, there was Yuanyuan who needed to be fed as an excuse. Yuanyuan finally turned one year old a few days ago. This child has always loved to sleep. When she was caught Zhou, she almost fell asleep while sitting there. Later, the people around kept asking her to grab something so that she could not sleep, so she reluctantly grabbed a handkerchief. Everyone praised her for being clever and clever in the future, but Zhuhua thought that Yuanyuan might have taken it because she saw that the handkerchief was closest to her and was light.
When she arrived at the banquet, she did not see the Princess Chu. After asking, she realized that the Princess Chu was sick. Zhuhua's expression on her face at the King of Chu was much better than before, but the Princess Chu's body was getting worse and worse. At most, the two met by chance in the palace and had no chance to say anything. Princess Ji advised her a few words, but Princess Chu smiled faintly, as if she didn't take it to heart.
After the banquet began, Zhuhua struggled with the Laba porridge in front of her. After a few bites, she heard someone retching a few times.
Dear, even if the porridge is so sweet, you don’t have to drink it until you vomit, okay, the emperor’s father is still watching it, Zhuhua said in his heart, but when Yu Guang glanced, it was Princess Ji who was vomiting. She was slightly stunned and immediately reacted. Yang Chengjian in the hall frowned, but after Yongfu whispered a few words in his ear, his frown also let go, and he immediately passed the imperial physician coming in to take the pulse.
Princess Ji also reacted a little. After the imperial physician finished her pulse, she looked happy and looked at Prince Ji with her eyes glowing. She must have a son this time.
"It's a coincidence that this child came." Yang Chengjian said, touching his beard.
The prince passed away on Laba, but Princess Ji found a happy meridian on Laba. Others had to think deeply about whether Princess Ji wanted to take advantage of her pregnancy. The position of the prince was delayed. The emperor obeyed Princess Changle again, and maybe King Ji wanted to fight for the supreme position. King Ji did not notice other people's thoughts, and was naturally happy about Princess Ji's pregnancy, but was worried about how she would explain to her father and mother if she gave birth to another daughter.
After returning to the mansion, he saw the happy Princess Ji, and temporarily let go of his worries. No matter whether she gave birth to a man or a woman, he would protect her with all his strength.
"It would be great if the sixth sister-in-law gave birth to a boy." After Zhuhua returned to her house, King Heping said privately.
"Why?"
"In this way, there is no reason for Sixth Brother to take a concubine, and they can have a pair of people for the rest of their lives."
"If the sixth brother is intent, even if the sixth sister-in-law can't give birth to a son, she can still be a pair of people for a lifetime."
"Really?" Zhuhua asked with a raised eyebrows.
Ping Wang flattened his mouth and did not answer.
Zhuhua smiled and sat down against him, saying, "No matter what, it is a blessing for two people with deep feelings to grow old."
"Like us?"
"We have a long road ahead."
"Is it long? I'm afraid that life will disappear after all." Ping Wang said, holding her hand.
"How could that happen?" Zhuhua said, then thought about it for a while and asked him: "Are you afraid of staying alone? If you are afraid, I can let you go first."
"It's not good either." He held her hand tightly and said, "We have to be together all the time."
"Nothing happened so coincidental." Zhuhua smiled. Seeing that his eyes were red, she wanted to laugh secretly, but her nose and hair were a little sour.
"Don't mention this, we'll have to live a long time."
"I wish I had been through this way."
"Always?"
"Always."
"That's not a monster."
"Then we will move to the mountain, live our lives as both of us, and be an old monster who has been together all the time."
"No matter how reunion is?" Zhuhua asked with her head up.
Prince Ping kissed her and said, "Don't care."
"Then don't care. Children always have to be independent when they grow up."
The beads wreathed on his neck, climbed on him, feeling his scorching warmth. The hibiscus tent was warm, and the spring night was short.
Princess Ji was more careful than before, and all the food and consumption were the best. However, Princess Ji, who had always had serious reactions during pregnancy, could not feel these things. During the Chinese New Year, she almost vomited whatever she ate and vomited. This toss made her lose weight a little more. Seeing that she was so hard to get pregnant every time, she became more considerate to her.
After the previous three difficult months, Princess Ji's morning sickness was better. At this time, the first month was over. She thought to wait for the weather to warmer and go to the temple she had been to before to fulfill her wish. After finding Zhuhua to discuss, Zhuhua advised her: "You are just a little bit better, so don't think about these things. It's better to stay at home and raise your baby quietly."
"It's okay. After the first three months, I can also go out and walk around."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhuhua didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only say, "Let's talk about it when the weather is warmer."
"Okay, don't forget." After saying that, she instructed again, "You can catch some too."
Zhuhua burst out laughing and said, "I didn't expect such words to be said from my sister-in-law's mouth."
"I won't tell anyone else about it." Princess Ji glared at her eyes.
The two of them talked for a while before they went back. When they left the door, Erge and Sange saw her and said that they wanted to go to Pingwang Mansion to play with Tuantuan. But the Big Ge didn't allow them to go and asked them to sit and practice calligraphy obediently.
"Be good, listen to your sister Ying. Come over after practicing the wording. Aunt Qi makes delicious food for you."
"I won't give it to my elder sister." Sange shouted.
Zhuhua smiled, glanced at the big goose, and said, "Okay."
Now Dage is becoming more and more adept at the elder sister. I heard that Princess Ji asked her to follow her to learn how to manage the housekeeper. Thinking about the fact that when she married Prince Ping's Mansion, Dage was still a child who called her Zhuzhuniang, but in the blink of an eye she was about to become a big girl. Even she was about to become a mother of three children. Although her third child was still unknown, maybe she should really go to various temples with Princess Ji, and worshipped her more sincerely, hoping to have a son next time.
As Princess Ji said, after she was pregnant for the fourth month, her condition improved much. Compared with her previous three pregnancy times, she was still pretty good this time. I wonder if it was because Zhuhua said that she was much stronger than before, and even the discomforts she had when she was pregnant. She used to be very picky when she was pregnant, but this time she didn't pick much. Maybe she often ate in the Pingwang Mansion and had a wider acceptance of food. When the weather warmed, she urged Zhuhua to burn incense and fulfill her wish.
This time, the two of them were really traveling together, and they didn't even take any of their children. The first temple they went to was the Daxiangguo Temple that Princess Ji used to look down on. However, this time, Princess Ji not only went to burn incense for every god and Buddha, but also added a lot of money for incense and oil. Zhuhua didn't know what she was good about, but when she helped her walk around the temple, she pointed at the side.
"There is a peach forest, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Not going."
"You're tired of walking, so I'll say you can wait for the fetal appearance to be more stable before you come out, or it's not too late to come back after you've given birth to fulfill your wishes. Just taking a car for so long is enough."
"Since you have made this intention, you must complete it earlier."
She said this, and after going back, she took a long time to take a break before she asked for the incense.
"I had to take fetal pills when I came back last time, so I'll go there! Don't go there. I think it's the same for me to go there. Big Goose is your daughter, and I can share some of it for you."
"Yes." Mei Xue, the girl next to her, also advised.
Princess Ji didn't say anything, Mei Xue couldn't. After retreating, Princess Ji said to Zhuhua: "I'm afraid that I won't go, I will have a daughter again."
As she said that, she began to cry. Zhuhua couldn't stand such a delicate beauty and she felt distressed even if she was not a man. She had no choice but to accompany Princess Ji again. This was intermittent until the end of June, and the two finally walked the temples again. Zhuhua walked through the three times and felt that she would still go to Daxiangguo Temple in the future, otherwise it would be too troublesome to run over one by one.
When she came out of the last temple, Princess Ji felt relieved. With a wow sound, she heard the birds cry and looked up and saw a bird flashing through the blue sky.
"It's a magpies." Princess Ji said happily.
Are you sure? Zhuhua thought to herself that she remembered that the magpie's screams were not like this.
"My child must be a son." Princess Ji said, touching her bulging belly, "As long as I can give birth to a son for King Ji, I will have no regrets of dying."
"Bao, babe, okay, why are you talking about this?" Zhuhua frowned.
Princess Ji didn't care, and even held her hand and said, "I'll tell me the truth."
"You're going to be like this if you have a son. If you can still get pregnant in the future, how many more sons will you give birth to?" Zhuhua teased.
"I'm afraid there is no hope in this life. But in the next life, it may be possible. If there is a next life, I will still marry King Ji."
Zhuhua felt that this was inauspicious, but she raised her eyebrows at Princess Ji, "I'm really shy. I'm not finished in this life. I'm just thinking about having a baby in the next life. I know that you have a good relationship."
"I don't believe you haven't thought about it. Seventh brother treats you well."
"It's good, but who can say the things in the next life is better? Maybe I will not be alone in the next life, but a worm?"
"Okay, don't be a human being or even a worm. It must be because the verbal karma is too heavy in this life."
"I have a heavy verbal karma. I am such a gentle person, so I should have good fortune."
After saying this, everyone else laughed. Zhuhua sighed helplessly and looked at Qiuchu, the one who laughed the most fiercely. "You are still laughing. I think I have to tell you a good match to show my warmth."
"Don't, princess, I was wrong." Qiu Chu quickly apologized.
Zhuhua glanced at her, smiled and let the matter go. After returning to the mansion, she returned to the house. Qiu Chu kept standing behind her, looking at her with some care.
